Given that Trump actually won Pennsylvania by 2%, he's casually bragging about something that isn't actually true - at least the "in a landslide" part isn't true.

But then, Musk knowing vote counting computers better than anyone isn't true either (though Musk may be arrogant enough to think it is).

So I think this is just Trump throwing out fact-free hot air that he thinks makes him look good.

Trump-scandals kinda killed Hanlon's Razor [0] for me.

A miasma inseparably blurring the lines between malice and incompetence, lies and ignorance, culpability and insanity, condensing into a greasy alloy which is definitely some amount of evil yet not worth anybody's time to separate and assay.

So, now along side "manufacturing", that's two things that Elon Musk knows more about than anyone else. All while tweeting 200+ times a day. How does he do it? Having a billion dollars must give you supernatural abilities to learn and produce more...

Or just spend your money convincing gullible idiots because you don't actually know anything.

When has he ever been funny? He's orders of magnitude less interesting than Trump when it comes to comedy. He has the demeanor of a robot, pre-programmed to the emotional intelligence of a smart teen between his nihilist and existentialist years.
